Innovative Finance, 2015 and Beyond

New sources of innovative financing can play an important role in raising resources for development and the financing of global public goods post 2015. Rob Vos, Director of DPAD, highlighted this and other findings published in the World and Economic and Social Survey 2012—In search of New Development Finance in a presentation at the panel discussion "Innovative Finance, 2015 and Beyond", jointly organized by DPAD and the Missions of Cyprus, France and Mauritius.

Other panellists highlighted their country-specific experiences with innovative financing mechanisms and the positive contributions that such mechanisms have made, but also considered them in the context of much larger financing flows from other sources, such as traditional development assistance and foreign direct investment.
